20555 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 AND 50-324 LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 AND DPR-62 RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Dear Mr. Ippolito:
This letter is submitted to comply with agreements reached between your staff and Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) at a March 21, 1980 meeting in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting was prompted by your February 14, 1980 letter which transmitted your com-ments on CP&L's submittals related to the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2.
At the March 21, 1980 meeting, it was agreed that CP&L would provide NRC with a proposal on the allocation of radio.ctive effluents between BSEP Unit No. 1 and BSEP Unit No. 2.
We have re-viewed the plant design, pertinent plant modifications, and appropriate NRC guidance to develop a fair and realistic method to assign radioactive effluents to each reactor unit.
Currently, liquid wastes are received by the Liquid Radwaste System from multiple sources from both reactor units.
Most of this liquid volume is unidentified as to its source of generation. At points where flow volumes are monitored, adequate activity concentration data is not available. The redistribution of activities created by the treatment process applied by the Liquid Radwaste System would further complicate the assignment of effluents to specific reactor units. CP&L therefore proposes to allocate the liquid radioactive releases on an equal basis between the two BSEP units (i.e., 50% per unit).

Mr. T. A. Ippolito April 23, 1980 In the case of gaseous effluents, a similar situation exists.
The monitoring of releases is accomplished for the combined flow.
In addition, the augmented off-gas treatment system, once operational, will redistribute the s,pectrum of combined activities in such a manner as to obscure the relationship between release activity and the reactor unit of its origin. CP&L proposes to allocate gaseous radioactive releases to the BSEP units on an equal basis (i.e., 50% per unit).
It should be noted that the method of equally allocating releases between reactor units is in accordance with NRC guidance pro-vided in NUREG-0133, paragraph 3.1.
Please contact my staff if you have any questions concerning these proposals.
Yours very truly, J y ' k..,-
